The Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region
DL Situation
Desert Locust Bulletin, No. 537, June 2023
The Desert Locust situation was mainly calm during June. Control operations continued in
Saudi Arabia
where late instar hoppers, groups, and bands became groups of immature adults in the interior and parts of the Red Sea coastal area. In
Yemen
, scattered adults were seen in the interior as well as in parts of the highland and northern Red Sea coastal areas. Hoppers and solitarious adults were on the Red Sea coast of
Eritrea
while control operations occurred in a few places on the southeast Red Sea coast and Nile Valley in
Egypt
. In Northwest and Western Africa, a few control operations occurred in
Morocco
and
Algeria
where groups of immature adults were present. In
Mauritania
, small groups of immature adults arrive in the northwest from further north and some control was done. There was a cyclone on the coast of southeast
Pakistan
and nearby
India
. During the forecast, locusts will decline in
Saudi Arabia
,
Morocco
, and
Algeria
due to increasing temperatures and very little or no rainfall. However, locust numbers should increase slightly in the summer breeding area in the northern Sahel from
Mauritania
to western
Eritrea
. Small-scale breeding could occur in parts of
Yemen
and the
Indo-Pakistan
border if more rains fall.
